National Annex to
Eurocode 1: Actions on structures -
Part 1-7: General actions – Accidental actions
_______________________________________________________________________

Foreword
This National Annex (NA) is a revision and consolidation of EN 1991-1-7 DK NA:2007 and
DS/EN 1991-1-7 DK NA Addendum:2010 and supersedes these documents as from 2013-10-25.
For a transition period until 2014-03-01 the former documents are applicable. In addition to editori-
al changes, clause 4.3.1 has been technically revised.

Previous versions, addenda and an overview of all National Annexes can be found at
www.eurocodes.dk

This NA lays down the conditions for the implementation in Denmark of this Eurocode for con-
struction works in conformity with the Danish Building Act or the building legislation. Other par-
ties can put this NA into effect by referring thereto.

This NA includes:

x an overview of possible national choices and complementary information;

x national choices;
x complementary (non-contradictory) information.

The numbering refers to the clauses where choices are allowed and/or complementary information
is given. To the extent possible, the heading/subject is identical to the heading of the clause, but as
references are at a more detailed level than the headings, the heading/subject has in several cases
been made more explicit.

Overview of possible national choices and clauses containing comple-
mentary information
The list below identifies the clauses where national choices are possible and the applicable/not ap-
plicable informative annexes. Furthermore, clauses providing complementary information at the end

National choices
3.3(2) a) Design of key elements
Key elements are designed on the basis of the National Annex to DS/EN 1990, Annex E (informa-
tive).

3.3(2) c) Choice of strategies for limiting the consequences of localised failure

Approaches b) and c) are preferred to approach a) according to the rules of robustness in the Na-
tional Annex to DS/EN 1990, Annex E (informative).

3.4 (1) Consequences classes

Consequences classes according to the National Annex to DS/EN 1990, Annex B (informative), are
used.

3.4 (2) Design approaches for accidental design situations

Structures are designed for identified accidental actions (impact and explosion) using the accidental
actions of clauses 4 and 5 and for unidentified accidental actions (robustness) according to the rules
of robustness given in the National Annex to DS/EN 1990, Annex E (informative).

4.3.1(1) NOTE 1 Values of vehicle impact forces

Table 4.1 is replaced by the table below, changing the values for ”Roads in urban areas” and
“Courtyards and parking garages":

Table 4.1 NA Indicative equivalent static design forces due to vehicular impact on members
supporting structures over or adjacent to roadways

Category of traffic Force Fdxa Force Fdya

[kN] [kN]
Motorways and country national and main roads 1.000 500

Country roads in rural area 750 375

Roads in urban area 750 375

Courtyards and parking garages with access to:

- Cars 100 50
b
- Lorries 200 100
a
x = direction of normal travel, y = perpendicular to the direction of normal travel.
b
The term ”lorry” refers to vehicles with maximum gross weight greater than 3,5 tonnes.

4.3.1(3) NOTE Conditions of impact from road vehicles
The recommended impact area is a = 0,5 m (height) x 1,50 m (width) or the member width.

4.4(1) NOTE Value of impact forces from forklift trucks

The note is replaced by:
”It is recommended that F is taken as 5W, where W is the sum of the net weight and hoisting load of
a loaded truck (see DS/EN 1991-1.1, Table 6.5), applied at a height of 0,75 m above floor level.
However, higher or lower values may be more appropriate in some cases.”

5.3 (1)P Procedures for internal explosion

The actions due to explosion specified in Annex D are applied for
- dust explosions in rooms, vessels and bunkers;
- natural gas explosions in rooms.

Annex A (informative) Design for consequences of localised failure in buildings from an un-
specified cause
Annex A is not applied. Reference is made to the complementary rules given in Annex E of the
National Annex to DS/EN 1990.
